Comment on My license plate: “I ♥ LEGO” by Bill

Yeah, it was kinda… but I decided years ago to not be ashamed of my LEGO hobby and this is part of that :)

Very true. I’ve had some success searching for “lego pound” or “lego pounds” but it can be very much hit-and-miss.

Plus there is buying them on ebay by the pound. if lucky you can get large lots for $5 per pound.

Yeah that’s the direction I’m leaning toward. The MPD for this one is quite complicated though…

Great work Bill. Would you consider sharing MPDs and maybe charging only for developed instructions?

Comment on Buying Bulk LEGO by Paul Reiber

Although I liked the LEGO pick-a-brick site, it didnt include every brick/component from every kit LEGO sells - just “some bricks”.

I’d love to see a “bulk” way to purchase, say, 20 or 30 Mindstorms NXT Motor “bricks”, 5 “Intelligent bricks” (NXT Controllers), and a handful of sensors, and have that be enough of a “bulk purchase” to warrant a substantial cost savings.

In the meanwhile, I’ll just keep tearing apart the old robots to build new ones, I guess. :-)
